"Volunteer Centres provide a crucial service in enabling volunteer involving organisations to include volunteers in their good work. The Experts in Volunteering website is an excellent, accessible way for front line voluntary and community organisation to access details of the knowledge, skills and experience of Volunteer Centres, as well as other support organisations, without the restrictions of borough boundaries. In short, this site helps Volunteer Centres work together in supporting London volunteering.”
